Fresh figures from Farside Invesors showed Ethereum ETFs bleeding $164 million, their first daily loss in nearly a week after adding more than $1.5 billion since mid-August. Bitcoin ETFs also slipped, with $126 million in withdrawals, marking their first red day since Aug. 22. Assets under management now stand at about $28.6 billion for ETH and nearly $140 billion for BTC.

Fidelity’s FBTC was hit hardest with $66 million exiting, followed by ARKB with $72 million. Grayscale’s GBTC lost $15 million. Only a few ETFs bucked the trend, including BlackRock’s IBIT, which pulled in $24.6 million.

Inflation Data Tied to Trump’s Tariffs

The pullback aligned with the Fed’s release of core PCE inflation, which rose 2.9% year-on-year in July — the hottest pace since February. Analysts point to President Donald Trump’s tariff regime as a key driver, raising import costs and putting upward pressure on services, which climbed 3.6% from last year.

Despite that, markets are still betting on a rate cut at the Fed’s September meeting, depending on labor data.

Ethereum Still Outshines Bitcoin

While the daily flows turned negative, Ethereum’s longer-term momentum remains intact. Since their debut in July 2024, ETH spot ETFs have seen steady adoption, with August inflows up 44%, bringing totals to $13.7 billion.

Corporate treasuries are also fueling demand, now holding over 4.4 million ETH worth around $19 billion, or nearly 4% of circulating supply.
